CRC/C/15/Add.99 page 2 4. The Committee appreciates the State party's initiatives within the school environment. In this regard, it welcomes the organization of an election for schoolchildren to choose the provisions of the Convention most significant to them, as well as the State party's use of appropriate materials and popular oral forms in disseminating the provisions and principles of the Convention. The Committee also notes the establishment of a school nutrition programme for primary schoolchildren. 5. The Committee notes with appreciation the efforts by the State party to strengthen cooperation with NGOs and welcomes the recent appointment of a focal point for NGOs within the Ministry of Human Development, Women and Youth. The Committee also notes the inclusion of NGOs in the National Committee for Families and Children, which has responsibility for promoting the implementation of the Convention; promoting improved coordination, planning and implementation of child-related programmes; and advocating for the adoption and implementation of positive policies for families and children. C. Factors and difficulties impeding the implementation of the Convention 6. The Committee acknowledges that the economic and social difficulties facing the State party have had a negative impact on the situation of children and have impeded the full implementation of the Convention. In particular it notes the impact of the structural adjustment programme and the increasing level of unemployment and poverty. The Committee further notes that the limited availability of skilled human resources, compounded by the high rate of emigration, also adversely affects the full implementation of the Convention. D. Subjects of concern and the Committee's recommendations 7. The Committee notes the recent efforts by the State party to introduce legislative reform. It is concerned, however, that domestic legislation still does not fully reflect the principles and provisions of the Convention. The Committee recommends that the State party undertake a review of its domestic legislation to ensure full conformity with the principles and provisions of the Convention. The Committee also encourages the State party to consider the possibility of enacting a comprehensive code for children. In this regard, the Committee further recommends that the State party seek technical assistance from, inter alia, the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights. 8. The Committee regrets that the State party has not acceded to the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights and the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination. The Committee notes that these two international human rights instruments would strengthen the efforts of the State party to meet its obligations in guaranteeing the rights of all children under its jurisdiction. The Committee encourages the State party to consider the possibility of acceding to both instruments.
